She also thanked coach Michael Domingo for training their boxers to develop their natural persistence, determination, discipline, dedication, work ethic, heart and respect.
Matsuura also thanked promoter JC Manangquil of Sanman, Villamor Boxing Gym, stamina conditioning coach Hitoshi Tanaka, One Boxing Gym, together with Kazuma Kitahara, match maker Hiroshi Katsumata and Kameda Promotions,
